Detainees who "believe they may be US citizens or victims of a crime" may call (855) 448-6903 to talk to ICE personnel who âwill collect information from the individual and refer it to the relevant ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) Field Office for immediate action,â the agency said in a press release.

The hotline will be available 24 hours a day, seven days a week, with translation services in several languages provided from 7 am until midnight EST, the agency said.

there are many us citizens who can not speak english nor express themselves accurately.

I have seen many immigrants who became us citizens but have no idea about their rights and some can not even say their name.

remember the mexican american guy who was trying to get in from the mexican border station where he was asked in English and he was not able to answer in English? He was detained and only after a week of investigation they understood that he was a US citizen.
